Growth of nanowires
Ning Wang,Yuan Cai,Ruiqin Zhang +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the status of research on the formation of nanowire structures via highly anisotropic growth of nanocrystals of semiconductor and metal oxide materials with an emphasis on the structural characterization of the nucleation, initial growth, defects and interface structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing the electron states and metal-insulator transition mechanisms in molybdenum disulphide vertical heterostructures
Xiaolong Chen,Zefei Wu,Shuigang Xu,Lin Wang,Rui Huang,Yu Han,Weiguang Ye,Wei Xiong,Tianyi Han,Gen Long,Yang Wang,Yuheng He,Yuan Cai,Ping Sheng,Ning Wang +14 more
TL;DR: By combining capacitance and transport measurements, this work has observed a percolation-type metal-insulator transition, driven by density inhomogeneities of electron states, in monolayer and multilayer molybdenum disulphide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dense network of one-dimensional midgap metallic modes in monolayer MoSe2 and their spatial undulations.
Hongjun Liu,Lu Jiao,Fang Yang,Yuan Cai,Xianxin Wu,Wingkin Ho,Chunlei Gao,Jin-Feng Jia,Ning Wang,Heng Fan,Wang Yao,Maohai Xie +11 more
TL;DR: A dense triangular network of one-dimensional (1D) metallic modes in a continuous and uniform monolayer of MoSe(2) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy is observed, of great potential for heterocatalysis applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Size-dependent growth direction of ZnSe nanowires
Journal ArticleDOI
CdSe Nano-tetrapods: Controllable Synthesis, Structure Analysis, and Electronic and Optical Properties
Qi Pang,Lijuan Zhao,Yuan Cai,Duc Phuong Nguyen,Nicolas Regnault,Ning Wang,Shihe Yang,Weikun Ge,Robson Ferreira,Gérald Bastard,Jiannong Wang +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal structure of tetrapod-shaped CdSe nanocrystals was determined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis to have a zinc blende core at the center with four wurtzite arms growing out from the core along four directions.
